If you click on Hierarchy view, you will see a few built-in systems needed for harvesting and provisioning features.

These built-in systems cannot be deleted as are needed by harvesting & provisioning features. You are able to create other systems and system types, according to your needs.
Create a new system
After clicking on the + icon in the top left corner, you have access to the creation screen. In this screen you have to fill system information.
Create a new stack
A stack is a way to rationalize information system and technical architecture governance by associating different systems together in a structured manner and trying to limit the combinations between them.
In the EBX® Metadata Management application, a stack is defined as a system referencing another system.
To define a new Stack, create a new System using System type = Stack and fill the other System attributes.
Then you have two possibilities to define the stack components
-
From the Stack itself, in the Stack components tab, associate the components (Systems) of this stack (for instance, a database + an application server and a web server, to define a web application stack)
-
From each component, in the Stacks tab, associate this component to the wanted stack.
